Initial ideas at the time was that I'll continue in Engineering until degree but I will never stay as an engineer. Then, after my Diploma, I saw an opportunity to go for Safety and Health Officer, thus postponing my Degree for a later time to pursue in SHO until I reached competency and then I'll take a part time Degree. Now, I'm working as a Service Technician for a week now and my plan so far is still leading to SHO. We'll see where Allah will guide me next.
Since, I am no where near in taking my Degree, a few have questioned my decisions in not taking my Degree as soon as possible. There's no doubt that I have made a LOT of thought in making this decision, but my decision stands firm. Some may heard me saying that I wanted to pursue in SHO fast because I'm afraid that in 2020 (the year i might finish my degree), the market for SHO won't be as high as now. Though that may be true, another reason is this :
This is my father, beside him is my loving mother and the 2 kids with them are their grandchildren. Ever since I returned to KL, I noticed a lot about my dad. What I saw is a man who has accomplished his life's effort in raising my brother, sisters and myself up to having 2 beautiful grandchildren. My family have gone through harsh times and my dad still push further for our future and sacrificed blood, sweat and tears to make sure there's food on the table.
He has worked his way up in his career and even after his retirement he is a consultant in relation to his profession. He also formed a Cycling Group after his retirement and have a healthy lifestyle because of it. He celebrates his birthday by cycling to Melaka from KL and then return to KL in less than a week. He still treats my mom in a very playful and childish manner at times and I can see how he loves my mom truly, and both of them are almost in their 60s.
The more I look deeper, the more I wanted to become like my dad. I want to achieve what he has achieved, in my own way. I want to start from the bottom, I want to be independent and i want to aim higher than he has achieved.. I want to take my Degree using my own money, and maybe later Masters and PhD, but that's still in KIV.
Though this post I refers to my decision in my future career, but my decision also leads to other achievements my dad has achieved.. and that is... a Happy Family...
